Interesting, however this correlation is also associated with men/number of premarital partners too
However this was a correlation I was previously unaware of. I wonder whether the correlation is directly associated with the act of sex or whether high rates of premarital relation is correlated with different neurological hardwiring, environmental factors, socioeconomic status etc
Read more closely:
“Multiple sex partners prior to marriage reduced marital quality for women, but not men.”
Men and women are different physically, emotionally and psychologically. They have different mating strategies. These findings should not be surprising.
I’m referring to my study, not yours
There is the notion of a scientific body of evidence, data can be conflicting depending on the sample size, environment (socioeconomic status, upbringing of the women/men, IQ, level of education and more)
My study that I’ve linked demonstrates a clear link between both, given the reliability regarding both portions of the data it’s difficult to come to an adequate conclusion.
As a matter of fact regarding my study not all parameters relating to women/number of partners were considered statistically significant. Whilst ALL variables in the men’s category were, indicating a stronger positive correlation regarding men, number of sexual partners and divorce.
Given the differing nature betwixt both studies I don’t see how an adequate conclusion could be made. Both of us can harbour differing ideology, and perhaps mine will change with age… or not.
I’m aware the neurology, biology of women vs men differ. But I don’t believe this is grounds for stigmatisation on the mere notion of “I’m a woman and I like to have sex”.
There are certain irrefutable facts, such as due to skeletal anatomy, hormonal influence men generally have greater upper body strength than their female counterparts, I’ll never deny that. But if someone tries to preach to me “women should be stigmatised/treated differently regarding sex whilst men can reign free” I’ll either get angry or walk away… this opinion is held by much of the male youth my age
As generations progress, the younger crowds of each aforementioned generation generally tend to harbour more progressive ideology. This isn’t a certainty, but a generalisation. We can all certainly disagree with one another however, and an intellectual debate similar to the way we are currently conversing is the best way for both parties to see/understand differing viewpoints.
Sir. This is a Wendy’s.
I grabbed that quote from your link.
I’m not advocating for this.
Thanks to the shift of US courts over the last 50 years, a divorce will ruin a man. It doesn’t matter if she was banging every dude on the block, if she’s an alcoholic, a psycho; half (and in fact, more) of your assets go to her, she gets the kids, and you get to pay for her attorney. Knowing this, would you be more or less likely to overlook the sexual history of a potential wife?
It seems to me that, unfortunately, one of the “progressive shifts” of young males is a decrease in self-preservation instinct. And I believe this is tied to the general decrease in T levels in “healthy” males.
Within my link this quote was referencing a different study at that point. The study regarding the link I provided came to the conclusion I’d specified prior with a stronger correlation regarding men/sexual partners/marriage satisfaction
The sexual history is irrelevant, however I do agree with you here regarding the courts and current bias. Emotional stability, certain behaviours (criminal history, substance abuse etc) needs to be analysed pertaining to who should get custody
It’s a slippery slope, I still firmly believe in “innocent until proven guilty”, I do have a problem with the current “this woman has accused him of X, therefore it’s an automatic indication of guilt.” Be it sexual assault or misconduct within marriage nessecitating a divorce. Same goes for when men accuse women of various crimes… it shouldn’t be “guilty until proven innocent”… even then his life shall be ruined
I’ve seen a few girls my age (these individuals are TERRIBLE people) get drunk at parties, end up physically assaulting men whom they dislike… the men literally can’t do anything, it’s rather shocking but is considered somewhat of an exception to the norm
I’m not so sure about this, my T is typically at the top or (slightly) above the top of the ref ranges. Perhaps a generalised lack of testosterone could induce a mob mentality of sorts… but more progressive ideologies harboured by subsequent generations has dated back centuries, it’s not a recent development
Can this stop now?
This has a lot to do with lawyers (the ones who profit in this situation the most). Politicians may make the laws but lawyers write them.
It’s mostly due to running on emotion vs experience. Without experience one relies on emotion as their guide. Once you have enough experience emotion is less reliable.
Negative
I don’t understand (or at least I’m not sure I do)
Are you saying due to my lack of experience with members of the female gender, my ideologies primarily stem from emotional bias rather than having been formed through legitimate experience? If so, I’d agree… regarding my opinionated nature on subtopics such as these I tend to put myself in the victims shoes, think about how I’d feel in such a situation… and I’d feel terrible if I was being stigmatised for merely having sex.
I never want to be the bully/one who makes another (presumably nice) individuals feel bad about themselves… I’ve been bullied enough to know in depth just how terrible it feels to be a target.
That being said I feel as if this conversation should come to an end. If this discussion needs to be kept going, we can create an off topic/political thread or we can speak via email
I was referring to the thought process of younger folks vs older folks. Not you in particular or about whatever sex stuff.
Yeah, it’d be better served to take the “Educate Unreal to the Womanly Ways” discussion into a new thread of its own. This is turning into the third or fourth time recently that an Unreal tangent has hijacked a thread.
Whats wrong with that. I get it all the time and have had it since I was a kid. stay Horney long enough and you will have it every time.
